Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill's fifth-year option will be picked up if the team is not able to sign him to a contract extension over the next six weeks, according to sources. Tannehill would make $16 million in 2016 if his option is picked up. It is believed the Dolphins have talked about signing Tannehill to a six-year deal worth more than $100 million.

Fantasy Tip: Tannehill play very well this past season and will look to build on his success next season. He will have some different weapons to work with next season, and it is not known if that will affect his performance much. Tannehill probably will be a starting option on FantasyScore against certain teams next season.

Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill said he cleared the air with WR Mike Wallace, and the two have no problem. Tannehill said he wants Wallace to return, and the team will consider Tannehill's input when they make their decision on Wallace.

Fantasy Tip: Wallace is being difficult with Miami, as he's said he won't restructure his current contract. The Dolphins could save quite a bit of cash if they decide to cut Wallace outright. It may be in Miami's best interests to retain Wallace, however, if at least for the sake of Tannehill's future after they already cut Brandon Gibson and Brian Hartline. Wallace had a disappointing 2014 season, but he still managed 67 catches for 862 yards and 10 touchdowns. A move away from Miami probably wouldn't hurt his fantasy value. Stay tuned.

Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill still has a backer in general manager Dennis Hickey, who admitted average salaries for starting quarterbacks are going up but the team is still high on Tannehill as a starter.

Fantasy Tip: Tannehill should be a safe bet for starting in 2015 fantasy leagues. Rumors are the team is working on a long-term agreement with Tannehill that could pay him between $15 million and $18 million a season, which would place him among the top earners. The team could sour on Tannehill just like the Chicago Bears did on Jay Cutler, but for now Tannehill appears to be a strong bet.

Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill and his contract extension will be a big priority in the offseason, but the Dolphins plan to secure a solid backup quarterback in free agency. Miami Herald reporter Armando Salguero speculates QB Matt Moore, who was the Dolphins' backup in 2014 and is an unrestricted free agent, may be the best option.

Miami Dolphins general manager Dennis Hickey had praise for QB Ryan Tannehill, saying the team is "excited" about his progress to date. "We are excited about [Tannehill's] future as a Dolphin. ... We saw a lot of progress [in 2014]," Hickey said.

Fantasy Tip: The team expects to pick up Tannehill's fifth-year option and may even discuss a longer-term deal. Tannehill is likely a safe bet to draft or keep for 2015 fantasy leagues.

Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill threw for 259 yards in Week 17 versus the New York Jets, giving him 4,045 for the season. Only QB Dan Marino has thrown for 4,000 yards or more as a member of the Dolphins. Tannehill finished with 27 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions in his third NFL season.

Fantasy Tip: Tannehill should be in consideration for low-end QB1 territory in 2015 fantasy drafts.

Fantasy Tip: Wallace has yet to record a 100-yard game this season, but he has scored seven touchdowns and leads the team in receiving yards. Facing a Baltimore defense ranked 31st against the pass in Week 14, Wallace ($5,800, 11.6% of cap) is worth considering at FantasyScore.

Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill has completed at least 70 percent of his passes in six of his last eight games, including four straight, heading into the team's Week 13 game Monday, Dec. 1.

Fantasy Tip: Tannehill is enjoying a breakout season, and a big part of his progression has been improved accuracy. After completing 60.4% of his passes last year, he is currently completing 66.1% of his passes this season. He is a weekly QB1 option right now.
